Why did apartheid last long in south africa?
In South Africa, it was said that the two countries that picked on South Africa the most, namely the USA and Australia, were the two that had the most to hide, with racism. There is also mention of Global Apartheid. It’s e.g. separate development of 1st and 3rd world countries, with the 1st world ones often getting richer from the 3rd. Some say that without Apartheid, the 1st world would have found some other excuses and methods to bring South Africa’s economy down. And thus have less economic competition, and this time from an African country. (In those days, there were e.g. African countries with far worse atrocities that didn’t seem to mean much to the outside world.
